Great to meet you!

You cannot swim for new horizons, until you have courage to lose sight of the shore” - William Faulkner. Life can offer challenges, there is nothing to be said that these need to be experienced without support. I offer therapy for those ready for change. My mission is to offer an environment to outline the areas you are challenged by, and work collaboratively on solutions together. The treatment I offer is tailored to your needs. The emphasis is on your goals and how you wish to accomplish them.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My specialties include but are not limited to: anger management, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, grief counseling, relationship issues/family and couples counseling. My main therapeutic focus is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have skills in most areas of therapy to meet your specific needs.

What you can expect from our first session

Therapy is a journey that begins with you making the decision to put your needs first. I feel certain that I can help you take steps toward achieving balance and peace within your life. I offer a safe, respectful, non-judgmental space for you to be able to work through your challenges to achieve that.
